Hello Film and video makers, screenwriters and artists of the moving picture. Welcome to the Film Basement International Film Festival.
One of the unique features of the Film Basement International Film Festival is that all entries are considered official selections. This means that every project that is submitted to the festival is recognized. We believe every project is important. This is a departure from the traditional film festival model, where only a select few films are selected.
Another noteworthy aspect of the Film Basement International Film Festival is that it is in its first year. This means that it is an opportunity for filmmakers to be part of something new and potentially groundbreaking in the film industry.
The festival's Best of the Fest award winners in each category will also have the opportunity to screen their films at the Film Basement in Los Angeles in September. This is a great opportunity for filmmakers to showcase their work in a highly respected film market and potentially attract the attention of industry professionals and decision-makers.
Overall, the Film Basement International Film Festival offers a unique opportunity for filmmakers to showcase their work and be part of a new and potentially innovative film festival.
We have so, so many prizes to win. Each category has multiple possible awards. The most coveted award of the festival is the Best of the Fest award, which will be awarded to each category and length. All award winners will receive a coupon for 20% off on Film Basement location rentals for 1 year.
Categories are: Narrative (feature, short, micro short, pilot), Documentary (feature, short, pilot, series), Animation (feature, short, micro short, pilot), Music Video, Cooking, Experimental (feature, short, micro short), Commercials, and finally we will also be having a Screenplay competition (feature, short, micro short and pilot). The Best of the fest winners in each category will screen and the best of the fest screenplays will be read live.
Within the category and subcategory groups there will be multiple different awards for many niches and genres. You can find out more about what awards can be won the on the FBIFF section of the www.filmbasement.com website.
